I was thinking about this today. A buddy of mine has a youtube channel and he is constantly buying shoes for his "collection", and all I think about is how much money he spends on things he wont even wear. I am a big fan of some of the Nike SB shoes, but I wouldn't spend the money on them, I only have 4 pairs of shoes currently. I have another friend who spends all his money on his gun collection. He has spent over $1200 customizing an AR-15, its a sick gun, but that's quite a bit of dough.

I got to thinking about what I spend my money on (fun wise) and I really don't have anything. I like to fish, but I don't spend more than $50 bucks a season on supplies. I am into old cars, but I havent spent any money on them recently (still havent got my Cutlass back). I have some guns, and I like to shoot for fun, but I probably only do that once a year. The majority of my money goes to bills and school.

You guys have any hobbies you spend a lot of money on. I wouldn't be opposed to dropping some coin on something I loved, but I don't really have a hobby I love. I know someone on here is into shoes (I think Reaper), but I can't remember. I know some guys are into cars.

If you do spend some coin and want to talk about new purchases or anything post it up. I need to buy some tires for my 63 Buick, but I will do that in the spring. I would love to get an AR-15, but will never spend the money.

I do running races. The races typically run me $60 to $90 per month, and then I spend maybe $300 a year on shoes and shorts and stuff. The big-ticket items are a couple of trips a year for races in other states (maybe $600 each on average), some hotel nights for races within driving distance (another $500 per year), and this year I bought a GPS watch for about $250.

So I guess overall it costs me about $3,000 a year. Man, you just got me depressed. However, the travel stuff is fun and the out of state running is almost an excuse for the travel instead of the other way around.

I'm thinking of making it Chiefs red with a couple of Arrowheads on the sides and the retired Chiefs numbers on it and such but that's about it.

Table tennis definitely eating up a pinch of my budget. I'm kinda an equipment junkie and like trying different rubbers & blades. Good thing is they're generally not that expensive... At least the ones I try.

You could easily drop $150 on a blade alone and $80 per rubber (keep in mind need one for the forehand & backhand) if you get some top of the line gear. To me that's nuts.

You sound like my kind of dude........Wait a minute....What? J/k. Seriously though, farm tools have been really big for me as I grew up on a farm. I have some crazy old farm implements my grandpa gave to me. Old Farmall tractor, old planter, couple old discs, bunch of really neat stuff.

Track riding sounds very cool. When I lived in Colorado they had the super bike races at the speedway. Those things are balls out fun to watch.

I grew up on quads and bikes. Had an LT250 quad that was built and it was FAST. Had a Hodaka Super Rat too, would love to still have that. First 'legal' street bike was an 85 FJ100. Amazing bike for the time.

I remember those FJ crotch rockets. They looked like super sleek missiles back then. Hodaka is a tough ass bike. Buddy had one along with a Bultaco and a Harley dirt bike. The Harley weighed about a million pounds but you couldn't stop it with a tank.

Only thing I wouldn't ride was the neighbor's 3 wheeler. I got on that thing once, rode it by the creek and couldn't get the thing to steer right. Ended up lodging the handlebars between two trees and flying ass over applecart endo over the handlebars right into the creek.
Never got on one of those squirrely bastards again.

I race both nitro and electric. I've been doing more on-road racing lately then off-road. We have a 20ft enclosed trailer that we travel with that we work out of. My brother and our kids race also. We have a blast.

Man. Reading through this theed makes me realize I blow way too much money.

Several guns and shoot every other month at least. And we shoot a ton. it's an all day thing. Non stop. Lol.
feel like I'm addicted to remodeling the rest of my house.

Couple cars. Always doing something there.

We have been buying old signs and retro shit for years so we go somewhere almost weekly to random places and hit up antique stores and auctions.

I buy video games. Have a Wii and x box.

Fuck.

I enjoy spending some loot on my hunting and fishing habits.

But as far as spending on a hobby/collection goes I drive my wife nuts with my Old magazines, books,Comics.

My oldest mags/newspapers and books go from the early to mid 1800's to anything recent thats collectable.

And I've been collecting comics for 40 yrs now and it takes up half the walk up attic which my wife growls about every time shes in it.

There's a threat of injury with any type of biking. My current bike is a hybrid, I did some off roading with it early on but quickly realized I wasn't cut out for that shit. Not too many good places around here for that type of riding anyway. I'm all about speed and miles now.

Anyway, I can't really say I have any hobbies. I love sports and working out so I spend some money on a gym membership and supplements from time to time. I've been wanting to join a flag football league but the days and locations haven't yet fit my schedule.

I spend money at the club and bars when I have breaks from school. I generally pregame before I go out though so that isn't too expensive.

I play video games to pass the time, though it's far from a hobby. For a few years the only game I even owned was Call of Duty but I just recently got the new Madden and the Assassin's Creed games.

I'm a huge movie fan. I spend money at the theaters and/or Redbox at least once every two weeks.
